SKF SYWK 40 YTH Pillow Block Bearing -, 40mm ID

Food Line Y-bearing units from SKF offer an innovative solution to washroom-related problems such as corrosion and premature bearing failure. Productivity is increased by eliminating human error through grease misuse and preventing contamination. With less grease consumption, SKF Food Line Y-bearings eliminate the need for relubrication and reduce waste.

The Y-bearing housing is made from a thermoplastic composite material making it strong, lightweight and chemical resistant. Capable of resisting citric acids, cooking fats and most food and beverage processing chemicals.
Steel coils embedded in the housing increase the fracture strength of the Y-bearing. The polyamide filled base allows for surface-to-surface mounting and eliminates gaps and contaminant build-up.
Stability created by stainless steel bolt-hole inserts increasing strength and preventing corrosion. Housing designs available are, plummer block (SY series) and tapped base (SYF series).

The stainless steel insert bearings are corrosion resistant, strong and are supplied with a high performance sealing system. They are self-aligning which in turn provides a longer service life.

Each SKF Food Line Y-bearing is prelubricated with a non-toxic food grade grease which is odourless and tasteless. This grease has a broad temperature range and extends the life of the bearing.

The basic dynamic load rating is 26kN, while the static load rating is 19kN. These ratings indicate how much load the bearing can handle under dynamic and static conditions, ensuring reliability in various operational scenarios.

Regularly inspect for wear and tear and ensure that connection points are properly secured. Reapply lubrication as needed to maintain efficient operation and longevity.

The stainless steel construction enhances resistance to corrosion and wear, making it suitable for environments with moisture or where hygiene is essential, such as the food and beverage sector.

Ensure the correct mounting holes are available for attachment bolts of 12mm diameter. The recommended tightening torque for the grub screw is 6.5N·m for optimal performance.
